Top Pickups and Breakout Candidates

Going into Week 10, fantasy managers will find it difficult to uncover potential breakout candidates available in a majority of leagues. However, several players offer some upside in limited or shared roles.

In today's NFL, workhorse running backs have become a rarity, so managers should look for steady contributors in defined roles as either pass-catchers out of the backfield or short-yardage ball-carriers who handle goal-line touches. Those players offer flex potential with RB2 upside.

For the upcoming week, managers who won't have Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Todd Gurley or Ezekiel Elliott because of a bye can still find intriguing plug-and-play options.
